Fall 2022
Maintaining the health of feedlot beef cattle is essential because diseases are directly associated with economic losses and animal welfare. Lameness is an important health issue in feedlot cattle. However, the molecular mechanisms behind cattle lameness have not been well studied. Moreover,...

Blood Glucose-attenuating Effects of Pea-derived Fractions: Exploration of Mechanisms of Action in a Rat Model of Glucose Intolerance
DownloadFall 2015
Pulses, including dried peas, are nutrient-dense foods rich in fibre that have shown efficacy in improving glucose control in diabetic subjects. The seed coats, in spite of being the highly fibrous part, are sometimes discarded as a food-processing by-product. We hypothesized that supplementing...

Blood and Urinary Metabotyping Reveals Potential Predictive Biomarkers for Identifying Dairy Cows at Risk of Subclinical Mastitis During the Dry-Off Period
DownloadFall 2021
Subclinical mastitis (SCM) remains one of the most important infectious diseases of dairy cows as it is associated with considerable losses in milk production and financial revenue. Currently, most SCM research and practices focus on diagnosing this intramammary infection (IMI) by counting...

Biorefinery Strategies for Co–generation of Cellulose Nanocrystals and Value–added Products from Wood Pulp
DownloadSpring 2020
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are sustainable and renewable nanoparticles derived from cellulose with desirable properties for various applications. CNCs can be isolated from purified cellulose such as wood pulp by concentrated sulfuric acid hydrolysis. The acid degrades non–crystalline cellulose...

Bioproduction of sulfated glycosaminoglycan oligosaccharides and their effect on non-heme iron uptake: Studies in human intestinal cell lines (Caco-2 cells)
DownloadFall 2018
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as chondroitin sulfate (CS), dermatan sulfate (DS), heparin (HP), heparan sulfate (HS), and non-sulfated hyaluronic acid (HA) are a group of complex polysaccharides exhibiting a wide range of biological functions. These macromolecules are structurally heterogeneous...

Biomass partitioning in canola (Brassica napus) and the characterization of leaf anatomical structures
DownloadFall 2024
Canola is the predominant crop grown on the Canadian Prairies, contributing about $26.7 billion to the economic activities per year in Canada. In 2023, Canada produced approximately 18.3 million tonnes of canola; however, the Canola Council of Canada set a goal of producing 26 million tonnes by...

Biological soil crusts in Alberta’s grasslands: increasing our knowledge of their taxonomy, diversity, and sensitivity to drought and defoliation
DownloadFall 2022
Biological soil crusts (BSCs) play a central role in the biodiversity, health, resilience, and function of drylands like Alberta’s grasslands. In Alberta, much of the biocrust cover consists of lichens, and many crusts are dominated by species of Cladonia. Despite the drought-resistant nature of...

Abstract The ability to identify and remove sub-fertile boars from the breeding herd is critical to improving reproductive efficiency of pork production systems. Use of semen from sires exhibiting sub-fertility can result in decreased sow pregnancy and farrowing rates, as well as smaller litter...
